4. What is the weather like?

If you’re thinking of heading to the carnival this evening, it would be advised to dress up warm.

Temperatures will be around 10C, which although not very cold, is still enough to warrant a thick coat.

If you’re thinking of staying out late it might wise to bring an umbrella as it is due to start raining at around 10pm.

The heralds the arrival of quite heavy rainfall on Saturday morning. In fact, there will be rain pretty much all day on the Saturday.

5. Not enough money is donated

The amount of money that is donated, an average, per person, at the Weston Carnival has been revealed by Terry Gilbert, a carnival committee member.

He told Somerset Live: “Every year it works out at about nine pence per person, in terms of the amount of money donated. Of course, this isn’t the exact figure. Some people donate five pounds, others donate one pound, and quite a few don’t donate anything.

“We only just about balance the books every year.”

Terry is concerned that should people continue to be frugal with their donations, the carnival may be at threat.
